Lever for teachers

How it’s built

• 1A lesson

  One idea and its definition, in about two minutes: taught, then asked about, then explained.

• 2A module

  A short run of lessons on one theme, usually one sitting. Lessons are ordered so each one builds on the last.

• 3A subject

  A group of modules on one area of money. A lesson only opens once the ideas it builds on have been taught.

Every learner gets their own path. It starts with the same short welcome, then puts the lessons that matter most to them first. A student who gets stuck gets a quick refresher on the idea underneath, and one who already knows compound interest can pass that module’s test and skip it.

Why it works in a classroom

• Free, no paywall

  No lesson ever sits behind a paywall, and learning never asks for a card. A student signs in once, with Google or a code sent to their email, and that account carries their progress between school and home. The minimum age is 13.

• Local

  Amounts are written in the currency your students use. Tax, pension and deposit-protection facts for 81 countries come from reputable, confirmed sources, each with the date it was last checked.

• In English and Spanish

  Every lesson exists in both, adapted for the people who speak each one, and more languages are on the way.

• Grounded in real sources

  Real-world facts come from reputable, confirmed sources, and the arithmetic is worked out in full.

• Sells nothing

  No provider is recommended and no commission is taken, so you’re not walking a class into a sales funnel. See our four promises.

Three ways to use it

• A term of short sessions

  One module a week, in order, from Start here. Each week is one sitting of lessons and a chat about the thing that surprised them most.

• A unit in a subject you already teach

  Taxes next to civics, Economics you can use next to economics, Foundations next to percentages in maths, or Staying safe next to digital literacy.

• Homework you assign

  Send a module’s link. Students sign in once, and their progress follows them between school and home on any phone or browser.

What it doesn’t do, so you can plan around it

• No classroom dashboard yet

  That’s what Lever Academic is for. Until it opens, progress belongs to each learner’s own account.

• No grading export

  Lever isn’t a testing tool. Its questions are there to be got wrong cheaply, not to be scored.

• No advice

  If your syllabus needs students told what to do with their money, Lever is the wrong tool. It teaches how things work and stops there.
